Philippines integrated resort Okada Manila is replacing single-use plastic bottles with the Nordaq water purification system – part of the company’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact.
The Nordaq system provides for the use of high-quality, filtered water bottled directly within the property, with Okada Manila stating it can produce 1,000 bottles of water per hour, all served in reusable glass bottles. The sustainable approach can eliminate the use of approximately 2 million single-use plastic bottles annually.
“We are elevating our waste management protocols through the Okada Green Heart program. This bold move proves that we can prioritize the planet while still delivering a premium experience to our guests,” said Byron Yip, Okada Manila President and Chief Operating Officer.
“Okada Manila is playing its part in building a better, greener tomorrow. Through our own water filtration and bottling system, we are significantly reducing the demand for single-use plastics,” Yip added.
Okada Manila said the partnership with Nordaq – a Swedish company known for its state-of-the-art water filtration technology – sees it adopt the same patented system preferred by top hotels and restaurants worldwide, allowing guests to enjoy sustainable, premium water.
The Manila resort said it plans to extend the use of Nordaq water across other areas of operation, fully integrating the environment-friendly initiative into all guest experiences.
“By embracing this change, we’re not just reducing waste – we’re setting a new standard for what responsible hospitality should look like,” said Rob Scott, Vice President of Hotel Operations. “It’s a win for our guests and a win for the planet.
“We hope guests will enjoy this eco-friendly choice and join us towards a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.”
